Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, ginger and cinnamon in bowl. Set aside.
Using a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add in the egg and molasses, beating thoroughly. Add the flour mixture, alternating each addition with some of the hot water, mixing well between additions.
Drop the batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets by large spoonfuls (I use a soup spoon), giving them some space as they will spread. Sprinkle each mound with a little coarse sugar and bake for about 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
